Crazy Highway Pitches

This is the case with every highway merge in this area - 495 intersection with Rte 3, 95 intersection with 3 etc. I think it would also make sense to drop the main highway by a lane so that the merging traffic can stay segregated for a while. For example, where Rte 3 leaves 495, make 495 2 lanes till the merge from 3 enters back.

MassDOT has restriped to implement this at several interchanges. Weston springs most immediately to mind.
